I lost a portion of my finger after being bitten by a dog at the apartment of a neighbor. Being an attorney myself in a different field of practice, I found Peter Briskin's handling of my case to be excellent. He kept me updated on the progress of my case and his court submissions were excellent. Due to the defendant in my action, numerous court appearances were required as well as motion practice and oral argument. Peter's representation was excellent. You are in good hands with .

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mr. Calabro on my DUI case, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience and outcome. From our first meeting, Mr. Calabro demonstrated exceptional kindness and a genuine desire to help. Navigating the legal system can be incredibly daunting, but his accessibility and willingness to answer all my questions provided immense relief. He explained each step in a way that was easy to understand, ensuring I felt supported and informed at every turn. His expertise lead to a favorable resolution in my case. I am incredibly grateful for him! If you are in need of a knowledgeable, kind, and accessible lawyer, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Calabro.

Micheal Calabro was my attorney, my friend and my solace in my most desperate time of need. I was involved in a case where I was facing 42-48 months, 24 of those months were a mandatory sentence. I was incarcerated for 3 months and then released on pre-trial probation. During that time I was always worried and anxious about what was going to happen.I called Micheal constantly and he would always answer and reassure me it was going to be ok. He was very honest and real with me. He wound up getting my case resolved faster then expected and negotiated a sentence of time served and some probation. He saved future, my sanity and my family from alot of grief. I would recommend him to everyone and anyone. He is the best!

I got a traffic ticket that would have given me points and hundreds of dollars in fines. I could have lost my job because I had a lot of points already and my CDL could have been suspended if I got any more. He got my charge amended to the lowest charge possible. No points and I only had to pay $89. He is a good man.

Once it was finally our turn the hearing felt like it lasted five minutes and we were done. He did a great job and has a nice personality.

I found Gregg through a friend of mine when I had an issue with my landlord about the return of my security deposit. He was understanding, personable and pleasant to talk to. Gregg acted quickly on my claim and had it settled in less than two months for more than I expected to get back. His fees were really reasonable and well worth it in the end. What else can I say?

I came to the Friscia and Associates law firm with a very complicated case. Had I realized just what a sisyphean task I had handed to them, I would have never proceeded. Despite the difficulty of the case, Mr. Minkove proceeded with diligence and skill. I doubt I could have found a better law firm to handle my case. I was treated with respect and dignity and kept informed of the myriad twists and turns of the proceedings. I was completely satisfied with their handling of the case and would recommend them to anyone. If they could get as far as they did on such a trying legal matter, handling the routine or even slightly complicated case would be child's play for them. They are dedicated to the ethical practice of law and a true client advocate in every sense of the word. You would do well to seek their counsel. They also have a hidden asset in their office manager, Michele, who has the calm demeanor and comforting nature of an angel, but works with the efficiency and drive of a hardened laborer. She is a marvelous asset to the office and an ambassador to the clients that cannot be underestimated. As a practicing emergency physician, I particularly regard compassionate efficiency as the highest credential. All in all, a great law firm. Sincerely, Dr. Dave

Rachel Kugel and Her Team Cleared My Name As a healthcare professional, I’m usually very private about my personal matters, especially online. But I felt compelled to share my story about how Rachel Kugel and her amazing team saved my career. Due to some policy issues, I’m writing this under an anonymous profile, but what I went through was very real. I was falsely accused and arrested for a DUI, along with a refusal to take a breathalyzer test. It was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. I knew these charges could destroy everything I’d worked so hard for in my career. I was desperate and didn’t know where to turn. That’s when I found Rachel Kugel. From the very first conversation, I felt a glimmer of hope. Rachel didn’t just see me as another case—she believed in my innocence and was determined to fight for me. She walked me through every step of the process with confidence and care, never once making me feel like I was in this alone. Rachel and her team worked tirelessly to uncover the truth and challenge the charges against me. Against all odds, they were able to get both the DUI and the refusal charges dismissed. The outcome was something I didn’t even think was possible. It felt like a miracle. I’m still in shock at what Rachel was able to achieve. Because of her, I was able to clear my name and continue with my life and career. I can’t express enough how grateful I am for her expertise and dedication. If you ever find yourself in a tough situation, Rachel Kugel is the person you want in your corner. She truly saved me.

CON ARTIST My father paid this lawyer $50k for my brother. He went to trial and was found guilty on some accounts and not guilty on others but he said he would do his appeal for free. The appeal was filled and he missed the court date so they threw my brother appeal out! No update on anything from this con artist but broken promises as if he didn’t get paid. Why offer to do something and you’re not going to do it . Seems to me he stalling for time. Anyways don’t trust this man. I pray he still not in practice.

Please be cautious of this law firm. Several warning signs should not be ignored. Mr. Brown, in particular, was highly problematic. He attempted to have me undergo anger management without my knowledge as part of a deal he made with the prosecutor. Neither he nor the law firm returned my calls, and he failed to appear in court when required. He lacked communication skills and legal knowledge. He seemed more interested in cutting deals with prosecutors than defending clients' rights. I eventually had to hire another lawyer who could highlight the inconsistencies in the false charges against me, resulting in the dismissal of the case.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You

A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.

Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.

When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:

  • Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
  • Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
  • Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
  • Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
  • Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
  • Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.

What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?

A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:

  • Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
  • Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
  • Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
  • File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
  • Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
  • Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
  • Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.

How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?

Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:

  • Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
  • Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
  • No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.

Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.

How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:

  • Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
  • Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.

While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.

Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer

Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:

  1. What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award.
  3. How long will my case take?
    While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled.
  4. How often do you take cases to trial?
    Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary.
  5. Will you personally handle my case?
    In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim.
  6. Do you have references from past clients?
    Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.

How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
  • Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
  • Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
  • Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:

  • Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
  • Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
  • Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
  • Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
  • Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.

By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
